The most delicious food… fun, family environment. Outdoor seating around back. The crab dip is to die for… and the jerk chicken. Corn bread is sooo good. Don’t let the BBQ sign fool you… they have a wealth of offerings. Not just ribs! One of FROYOs staples since 2005.

Local secret - best freshly made subs, pies, breads, and pastries available at the Exxon gas station right across from the Apple House... easily missed by tourists but delicious food! Plus its cheaper and friendlier :)

We love this little farmers market. They have great pies and baked goods, canned goods (jelly, jams, preserves, sauces, etc) freshly grown produce (fruits and veggies, seasonally dependent!) and a bunch of other good stuff - flowers in the spring/summer, locally made goods, farm products. The locals who work there are always friendly and helpful.

This is a classic local tourist trap - if you haven’t stopped by before it’s a great one-time roadside attraction to stretch your legs, let your kids run around and see some some quirky dinosaur statues. The dinosaurs haven’t been updated in years but the yard is nicely kept up and offers plenty of shade in the summer to wander through. There’s a gift shop with plenty of toys to choose, it’s pretty cheap and usually pretty quiet. Don’t expect something crazy impressive- but you gotta appreciate the fact these same dinosaurs have been around for decades and this place stays in business thanks to people who stop by on their way in or out of Shenandoah.
